7 Quirks

Okay, I'll try to think of 7.
1. My bangs have to be perfect. I will spend the majority of time styling my hair on my bangs, and then recheck them before I leave the house, if my bangs are good, its a good day. :)

2. The toothpaste container has to be on a certain spot on the sink, Dave will move it or leave it haphazardly on the counter, I always put it on the little groove on the sink, it just seems like it fits there.

3. The afghans have to be folded a certain way on the back of the loveseat.

4. I must put lotion on my hands after I wash them.

5. I hate it if my socks don't match my shirt.

6. I love white shirts, It seems if I'm having a hard time deciding on what to wear, If I just put on a white shirt I feel much better.

7. I hate to be too warm, I would much rather be a little cool, then warm. I hate the feeling of warm hands and feet, I do like to cuddle up in a blanket, if Im cold, but only until I get warm, then the cover comes off. I usually leave one foot out of the covers at night, with only a sheet and light blanket. Dave has on pj's, sheet, blanket and comforter. Funny how opposites attract!!

Race from HELL!!

Well... I had signed up for this 1/2 marthon trail run, it was this morning. I drove out to Oakland Township with Treva and LeeAnne. We were ready for this run, even though we knew it would be different from our road races we have always d0ne before. Well, they are both faster runners than me so I lost them in the first mile, but I had them in my sights for awhile. Everything was going fine until mile 4, when the run went off into the Bald Mountain Recreation area. The last mile marker I saw was mile 5, I was feeling good, and doing about 10.5 minute miles. I kept running up hills, down narow trails, twisting my ankle twice on roots. Pretty soon there was no-one in front of me and no-one behind me. I began to question if I was on the right trail, I hadn't seen a mile marker in awhile, I just thought they hadn't marked the miles since we were on these crazy trails. Pretty soon, up ahead I see a man walking toward me. He had a race number on and he asks me, Is this the right trail? I had been wondering the same thing!!! We soon realized we had somehow missed the marker, and were totally LOST!! We began back tracking and after about 40 minutes, we found our way back to the right trail. That was so upsetting!!

I was feeling bad cause I knew LeeAnee and Treva would be waiting for me, and worrying if I was injured, or lost. After running for awhile again and then realizing this run that should of taken me 2.5 hours, I was now already at 3 hours, with 5 miles to go, I took the ride on the paramedics truck back to the finish line. I was so dissapointed, and tired. I got back to the finish and Treva and LeeAnne were happy to see me walk off the paramedic truck. I guess LeeAnne had gotten lost too, with about 12 other runners, they found their way back sooner though. She atleast ran across the finish line. I guess it could of been worse, I'm really thankful I met up with that man, Bill, and that he was sweet and stayed right with me. I think if I would of been alone, I would of cried, and probably, still be back in the woods right now. Awful race!!!
